I wish we could see the before and after! I'd love to compare.

All I know is the after is sharp, well done.

Wish I'd thought to do that. The main changes are that folks pointed out we had LOTS of info but all in text without any visual cues to break it up. They also pointed out our name is Brent and Michael Are Going Places but we had one boring picture of us down at the very bottom.

So with that feedback we created collages of us in different places we've lived and added them in to both breakup all that text and to show people who we are and where we traveled. We also used H3 to highlight important information such as Why A Newsletter and We Have Both Free and Paid Subscriptions. We also put a subscribe button much higher up.

So found all of that feedback super helpful.

I like what you did! I also recently decided to re-do it and chose a similar approach. At first I had it extremely dry (based on our GO! discussions) and then just decided to do more "me" in it as opposed to follow rules. Thanks for inspiring me to add some photos/graphics too.

Thanks very much! Just checked out your Substack and it sounds great, though not quite my thing, especially these days when I'm so swamped with stuff to read. But I'm sure you'll find your readers. BTW, one small typo -- you've got german instead of German in one spot.

Of course. I know how hard that are too catch. We sent out a newsletter yesterday taking about a live chat we're sing this week that said June instead of July. I wanted to murder something. Lol
